This one will win a few friends and family votes, that’s for sure.

Don’t throw away those bruised and brown bananas anytime soon. Not only are they more sweet they are also rich in antioxidants. It could help delay and or prevent cell damage. Best of all you can make delicious bread with it too.

The banana in the Vegan banana bread helps to act as a binder. It helps to hold the bread together and also gives it the added sweetness and banana flavour we all love so much.

Give it a try and let me know what you think. To put this together takes minutes. The only wait time is the baking.

Blueberry Chocolate Banana Bread

Chef Perry

A different combination in the banana bread world for a change. Sweetness from the bananas and dark chocolate with a touch of blueberry fruitiness adding extra moisture in the loaf.

Equipment

• Baking Loaf Pan

Ingredients

  

• 4 ripe Bananas make sure bananas are over ripe and have brown spots
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup Liquid Coconut Oil Try and use the unscented one so you don't taste the coconut.
• 3/4 cup White Flour
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips + a few extra for the top I use 70% Cocoa
• 3/4 Cup Frozen Blueberries I Use Frozen for added Moisture
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 2 tsp Baking Powder

Instructions

 

• In a medium size mixing bowl add the bananas and start to break them down by mashing them with a fork. The first minute is pressing but it will liquify soon.
• Now add in the coconut oil and vanilla. Continue to mix with your fork.
• In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and brown sugar together very well.
• Next pour the wet mixture in with the dry mixture and mix well. It will become thick and pasty.
• Now add in the blueberries and dark chocolate. Saving a few extras to put on top after you pour the mixture in the loaf pan.
  
• Pour the mixed ingredients into the loaf pan. Place a few extra chocolate and blueberries on the top then place in the oven.
  
• Bake in the oven at 350 F or 180 C for approx. 50-60 min. Pending on your oven. Mine took 50 min. Use a toothpick to insert in the middle when its done to see if it comes out clean. If so it is ready.
• Set on bakers rack and let cool for 15-20 min. Enjoy.

Notes

Serve with vegan butter or jams and serve warm.
